The unfinished St.John Polyclinic
The unfinished St.John Polyclinic (1991-2015)

It is an open secret the very close – who said incestuous? – relationship the late prime minister David Thompson and Leroy Parris enjoyed. They were pals, travel buddies, the two families had a financial relationship. Rumours abound about the content of Thompsonโ€™s will sized by some from 30 million to 70 million dollars. Also, the close relationship extended to the company Parris led, CLICO bankrolled the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) political campaigns in the amount of millions. Not to mention the hand me down motor cars and other items sold or given to DLP members of the political class.

The release of the CLICO FINAL FORENSIC REPORT raises several questions about the integrity and honesty of the late David Thompson.ย  So far it does not look good for the former prime minister who died at the age of 48 from pancreatic cancer. Given what is at stake Barbadians will be lucky to see justice play out any time soon – members of the political class from both sides supported by corrupt elements in the private sector will be the hindrance.

Construction of the St.John Polyclinic started in 1991 by a DLP government and in 2015 it is still under construction after being ignored by a Barbados Labour Party government from 1994 to 2008. For 24 years the polyclinic has been made a political football because of the ignorance of our political class.ย  Of concern to BU is the recent announcement by Prime Minister Freundel Stuart the St.John Polyclinic will be named the David Thompson Polyclinic promised again to be completed by mid year. Surely the Prime Minister is the most insensitive brute of a man to make such an announcement with litigation unfolding which may yet place Thompson in an ugly light. Any government committed to promoting fairness should see the commonsense position of not lending the name David Thompson for any reason to any national asset, not even an out toilet.

Another consideration is the fact the wife of David Thompson was recently named in a court filing in her capacity as beneficiary of David Thompsonโ€™s estate. The role of the Thompsons in the CLICO saga promises more airplay, so too the rise or fall of the Democratic Labour Party legacy.

    Since inception, the Desalination Plant has not supplied the 27,000 cubic meters of water per day as stated in the Agreement. One of the reasons is that the Authority does not have the capacity to receive this contracted amount.
    2.6 This impacts on the payments the Authority makes to Ionics for water since the Authority not only pays for the water supplied, it also pays a standby charge
    Chapter

    ๏ฟผ2
    for the water not delivered under the contract. The charge for production is computed on the basis of a production cost for each cubic meter of water supplied. This cost, which fluctuates in response to a number of factors, was approximately $1.50 per cubic meter at the time of the audit, while the rate for the standby charge was approximately seventy-five cents ($0.75) per cubic meter. In 2008, the average output of the Plant was increased to 20,000, a shortfall of 7,000 cubic meters of the contracted amount. Using this production rate of 20,000 cubic meters, the projected standby charges over the past ten (10) years would be approximately $19 million ($1.9 million a year).
    2.7
    The Plant was never run at full capacity. Therefore, it is not known whether the facility can be sustained over the long term or under drought conditions.

    2.10 In the Agreement with Ionics, the feed water TDS was estimated between 1,000 and 10,000 mg/L. However, in our review of data for the period April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2011 the average TDS exceeded 1,000 mg/L on only one occasion.
    2.11 This brings into question whether adequate testing of the TDS in the supplying wells was conducted prior to entering the Agreement with Ionics. No documentation was presented for audit inspection indicating that a thorough analysis was done on the TDS in the feed water used by the Desalination Plant. Such analysis could have resulted in the Authority paying considerably less for the water supplied, as more favourable terms could have been negotiated.
    Electricity Costs
    2.12 Included in the production cost is a unit cost for electricity usage which includes an electricity factor. This approach is used instead of simply passing on the price charged by the Barbados Light and Power Co. Ltd (BL&P). Electricity usage depends on the quantity of TDS in the water being processed, in that, higher levels require greater electricity usage, and vice versa. The electricity factor was previously estimated at 1.111 kilowatt hour per cubic metre (kwh/m3) of water produced.
    2.13 In July 2008, Ionics reduced the electricity factor to 0.94kwh/m3 through the introduction of a sliding scale, resulting in substantial savings for the Authority. See Table 1 below.

    2.14 The example below, which relates only to July 2008, highlights the type of savings accruing to the Authority as a consequence of the reduction of the electricity factor.

    2.15 Notwithstanding this reduction in costs, evidence from the March 2010 invoice indicates that it is still possible for the Authority to pay more to Ionics for electricity than what is charged by BL&P. The electricity component of this invoice was $290,404.55, whereas the amount on the electricity bill used to calculate the cost per kilowatt hour was $172,041.85 (VAT exclusive), a difference of $118,362.70.

    Bizzy? Donโ€™t mak me laugh.
    +++++++++++++++++++++++
    Boss…. this blogging thing can be confusing hear?
    ….best to read over before you reply….

    The AG probably got the heads up on ionics from Bushie on BU….

    The POINT above is that if the DLP had been funded by Bizzy instead of Ma_money, at least the pay-off could have been via alternative energy projects for water authority instead of the shiite building….

    So the current meters were not working!!…. (come out things…)

    Who engineered the plan to use them?
    Who selected them?
    Who purchased them?
    Who installed them?

    Who was fired?

    If wunna can’t operate simple mechanical meters, how the hell will these complex electronic smart meters be a better bet?

    …and THESE are the kind of people we are building MULTI-MILLION new offices for…?

    ..our ass is grass.

    If that is what Bizzy did for the good people of Barbados via the BWA & IONICS deal ($19M in over billings) , you would let him near an alternative energy project for the same BWA?

    โ€œI see no reason why Barbados should not be a Republic but the best time to make that happen is when a country is in a position of economic prosperity and the government has the confidence of most of the citizens.โ€

    Do you feel the same way about your adopted homeland?
    How come the big able resource rich โ€˜independentโ€™ country called Canada, O Canada has not gone the republican route?

    Doesnโ€™t Canada share a border with another long-standing republic or do you feel the French Canadians will โ€˜fcukโ€™ up the โ€˜unionโ€™ apple cart and seek their own republique de Libertรฉ, รฉgalitรฉ, fraternitรฉ in any attempt by Torontonians to break away from UK monarchy? LOL!!

    Bizzy conscience is really bothering as he hits the geriatric has of his life. Wanna remember the below?

    HIGHWAY SAY
    Published on: 1/11/08.
    by TRACY MOORE

    THE INITIAL COST given for the ABC Highway Expansion Project was only an estimate when Government evaluated the proposals prior to negotiations and the settlement of “the scope of works”.

    But because of ongoing negotiations for Phase 2 of the roadworks, costs are still outstanding, says Deputy Prime Minister Mia Mottley.

    Speaking at a Press briefing yesterday afternoon she, with the support of Minister of Public Works Gline Clarke, Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance Clyde Mascoll and Attorney-General Dale Marshall, responded to Opposition Democratic Labour Party (DLP) leader David Thompson’s “empirical evidence” showing a more than 100 per cent increase
    in cost of the yet-to-be-completed project.

    An increase

    Thompson said costs had moved from $119 750 000 to $262 022 162.42, with more than half the work still to be done.

    However, Mottley said: “The brief which I received . . . [had] a figure of $115 million in relation to the widening of the road. 3S [the contractor] was claiming $125 million for widening the road. But after a series of meetings, we came down to $117 million.

    “In relation to the second phase, is the construction of the fly-overs, which will not commence until later this year, and certainly not until we have settled the costs, we have started the process.

    “3S was claiming $145 million. The Ministry of Public Works’ estimate was $113 million and the variation was such that I would have asked, with the support of other Cabinet sub-committee members, an independent estimate be obtained in relation to the largest portion on the variation of the prices and that was on the commodity of pre-fabricated steel.”

    Meanwhile, Mascoll detailed the causes of the increased costs.

    “The final scope of work not only included the widening to a full-lane highway along the entire length of the highway, but the entire highway would be rehabilitated,” he said.

    Mottley concluded: “The public’s interest has been protected by both a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) and a supplemental MOU. So I am satisfied that Government has exercised both fiscal prudence and transparency in the management of this project.”

    Meanwhile, in a letter to THE NATION, Ralph “Bizzy” Williams blamed “certain technocrats for delaying progress on the ABC Highway in order to embarrass Government.

    He said he was prompted to write the letter because “fair is fair and the truth needs to be told.”

    He added that while it was being delayed the world price of steel increased by about 50 per cent.

    ______How You Doing?_____

    In that letter he wrote to the Nation (just before elections 2008), Bizzy claimed to be a fair and impartial person with no axe to grind in the ‘flyover’ scam, but later it was revealed that Bizzy was not so impartial given that he was providing electrical works on the project, that his brother Sir Charles was on the 3S’s subcontractors and by the many allegations that 3S was actually a front company set up by COW, Hallem and the said BIZZY ‘CRY CRY BABY’ WILLIAMS.

    3S was just a natural progression from ‘2S’ ….

    Don’t mind this patriotic PR nonsense Bizzy Williams does be pushing about himself. Everyone in Barbados know what he has done to the BWA with the IONICS factory on Spring Garden.

    Now he gone to St. Philip with Rastas Edghill and Bertie Ward in the name of Potable Water Inc, and invest a few million dollars in some old pumps and water extraction equipment and got a 20 year concession from BWA to produce water from the aquifer up there. Based on the concession agreement BWA is going to have to pay Potable Water Inc millions of dollars a month for water that belong to the people of Barbados.

    The BWA building has cause the jealousy to set in.I guess there are a lot of folks in the public sector that just can handle the fact that BWA staff will be housed in modern office accommodation. Petty jealousy in the country is really becoming the norm, unfortunately so.

    Prime Minister Stuart has the gall to say that he is finishing what the late Errol Barrow started, by proposing to become a republic.
    Skippa , you have already written your name big and bold in our history’s pages.
    You are the worst Prime Minister or Premier that this country has every experienced,and sadly, you have reduced the once respected Democratic Labour Party to a shambles of misfits, with many of its supporter, more fitting to be members of a third party,the BMC, Barbados Mafia Chapter.
    Under you watch sir, we have seen the destruction of the sugar industry and agriculture in general.
    You have destroyed that group of people, once referred to as Middle Class.
    You have consorted with criminals and frauds, the former PM not included,who have fleeced the very people who have placed you in that exalted position.
    Under your watch sir, there is uncertainty of the state of our National Insurance funds,which the same people who have placed you there,were looking forward to in their old age,instead of a return to the Almshouse system.
    Under your watch sir, we have seen a dumbing down in tertiary education.
    Under you watch,sir and according to the Auditor General’s report, you have allowed the taxpayers money to be treated in the same fashion, that your pal and buddy, Leroy Parris has treated CLICO and the funds and pensions of many of the very people who have placed you in that exalted position.
    Finishing what Errol Barrow has started ? Man you and your minions ain’t fit to walk in the same shoes as Errol Barrow.

    So your PM thinks he is descended from the Scottish Royal House of Stuart?
    What a right royal black jackass he is! More like descended from Ugly King Ja Ja of the Third Gang of Marchfield.

    The man is of the view that Barbados is already a republic in substance and it would just be a stroke of the pen to bring its monarchical form in line with its de facto republican status.

    So this man intends to carry on with his knighthood and queenโ€™s counsel? โ€˜Pillockeryโ€™, I say!
    What would his ceremonial president be delivering? The King Stuart throne speech?
    Would the regiment have to drop all the Queenโ€™s colours?

    What would happen with all the Westminster traditions (based on the premise of a ruling monarch) meticulously mimicked by the black jokers in the local poor copy houses of Commons and Lords?

    A true leader should lead by example. Let us see him resign from the British Privy Council and drop the damn useless title of QC from behind his name. Then we will see him in true republican light of a primus inter pares in the new land of Libertรฉ, ร‰galitรฉ, Fraternitรฉ.

    Proverbs 25:24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

    Proverbs 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

    Why are some men often away from home? They hunt, work extra hours, golf, live in their workshop, manicure the lawn, stay in the basement, or listen to music with headphones. Why? They are avoiding the dreadful creature they foolishly married. These poor men made a life-ruining choice by marrying a contentious and debating woman.

    God created Eve to be the perfect companion for Adam, and she was (Gen 2:18-25). Marriage gives a man his own wife for pleasant company, mutual help, and sexual pleasure (Eccl 4:9-12; 9:9; I Cor 7:1-5). But sin in Eden and ever since has corrupted Godโ€™s design, and proud and selfish women become yapping, nagging irritants at home.

    When the tortured victim realizes his grave error, his spirit is stricken, and he is forced to surrender and withdraw from her presence to find his only comfort in the quiet solitude of other pursuits.

    A brawling woman is a quarrelsome, wrangling, clamorous, noisy, or bawling woman. You have mostly heard her โ€“ she is usually talking, correcting, debating, scolding, suggesting, reminding, and otherwise making herself an unbearable nuisance. Attempts to correct her meet with failure, for her unruly pride cannot submit or shut up.

    How widespread is the problem? Solomon warned five other times with proverbs similar to this one (Pr 12:4;19:13; 21:19; 25:24; 27:15-16). It is a common problem, especially in this rebellious age, when women no longer know their God-ordained place. It is a dangerous trap waiting to entice young men by its bait and then spring shut on them.

    It is better โ€“ do you hear the Preacher? He gave one of the wise priorities of life. It is better to live on the roof than in a large house with such a woman. It is better to be single, alone and lonely, than to cohabit with this onerous wretch in a joyless marriage. It is better to stay in the workshop making another piece of worthless furniture than to try to have any peace or pleasure with the female know-it-all that has taken over your house.

    What help is a $1800 bursary to a student of a poor unemployed woman or man? If the parents are not working, where would they find the other $4000 or $5000?

    You hard hearted morons suddenly pulled the rug from under the nation’s children and then have the nerve to insult them by the mouth of a bandit chaser but can give $2 million without so much as documentation to prove that they got the money?

    You deceivers fly all over the world to every cockfight and fail to report to the nation? What benefits does Barbados get from these jaunts?

    You fumbling idiots cannot afford to use the parents taxes to finance UWI but can afford to host receptions every week for people who could afford it?

    You morons cannot pay for the nation’s children’s education but can host a cocktail reception to celebrate parliament when you con artists degrade and bring the same parliament into disrepute?

    The nation is yet to be told how much the big bram held in 2008 for the sham of a swearing at Kensington cost…………..but look at life, who would have know that David Thompson was such a fraud?

    Or how much the dead king’s week of funeral cost?

    Or how much the big Independence concerts in 2008/9 cost?

    Or how much the diamond celebrations for the queen cost?

    Or how much the ad hoc celebrations for Ryan Brathwaite cost?

    Or how how much the Rhianna party cost?

    These are all areas of foolish spending.

    Excellent post, Prodigal!

    And to think the same purveyors of fiscal squandermania is about to embark on a extremely costly and unaffordable rebranding exercise to ‘bitch-slap’ the Queen (and Britain) in her face. Most of the tourists who come to Bim are ‘traditional’ British citizens who hold the monarchy in high esteem and feel culturally safe and at home in Little England.

    How come none of Barbados’ main tourism rivals has yet opted for the ditching of the ties to Great Britain and its monarchical system by going the way of banana republicanism? Where is the Bahamas in all of this? How come a country so symbiotically tied to the Republic of the USA does not talk about ditching its monarchical system of governance?

    What about Jamaica and St. Lucia and Antigua?

    Does the ugly jackass feel that by talking about Republicanism the fiscal problems will disappear into the thin air of โ€˜God Save the Republic of Brass Bowlsโ€™? Who is going to write-off the $11billion debt? The Americans? The IMF? The OECD? The World Bank? Or even the Republic of the United Nations?

    To the stupid cvnt of a PM: Why not wait for the opportune time to talk about ditching the queen and the British monarchical system of over 350 years? The countryโ€™s pressing problems are of an economic and social nature not ones of political chess-boarding or one-upmanship in the name of the Queen or any future king of GB and N I.

    As your lapdog advisor Estwick said his mother cautioned him: โ€œTime longer than twineโ€. Why not wait until there is a crisis in the monarchy where the politically beheaded King Charles has to commit Prince William the King in waiting to the Tower of London before embarking on a revolutionary exercise you have no control over.

    Meanwhile prepare your government for the inevitable but costly rebranding exercise.
    With a national debt in excess of $11 billion and a fiscal deficit for 2015-16 of $1.7 billion do you, Mr. P M, really think the country can afford the exercise of a one-dead-horse-and crippled-pony show bedecked in Royal colours running around the Garrison in celebration of the Queenโ€™s abdication on her official birthday?

    Some of you are very easily swayed and manipulated. Doesn’t the government need a two thirds majority to change from a monarchy to republic?
